Cutout - Autograph des britischen Adligen LORD HARLECH ( WILLIAM ORMSBY GORE ,2nd BARON HARLECH 1819 - 1904 /// Signiert signed signée autograph autographe autogramm /// Wikipedia: William Richard Ormsby-Gore, 2nd Baron Harlech (3 March 1819 - 26 June 1904), was an Anglo-Irish peer and Member of Parl…iament. Lord Harlech was the younger son of William Ormsby-Gore and Mary Jane Ormsby. He was educated at Eton College and later purchased an Ensigncy in the 53rd Foot. He purchased a Lieutenancy in 1839 and exchanged into the 13th Light Dragoons in 1841, purchasing a Captaincy in 1846 and a Majority in 1852. In the 1841 general election Ormsby-Gore was elected unopposed as a Conservative Party MP for County Sligo. In 1852 general election there was a contest for the seat and he was defeated by a nationalist-inclined Liberal candidate. He returned to Parliament in a by-election on 17 May 1858 as MP for Leitrim, a seat he held until 1876. Ormsby-Gore bought an estate at Derrycarne near Dromod in County Leitrim and went on to rise to high office in the county: he became High Sheriff there for 1857, and was appointed as Lord Lieutenant of County Leitrim in 1878, which he remained until his death. On 14 January 1876, Ormsby-Gore's elder brother John was created Baron Harlech. As he had no sons,[2] the peerage was created with a special remainder to his younger brother, meaning that he was made heir presumptive of the peerage should the first Baron die without legitimate male heirs. This was an unusual procedure and it was determined at the time that the last such case had been 45 years before. As it happened, the first Baron died on 15 June 1876 and Ormsby-Gore became the second Baron Harlech. Harlech was appointed by the Lord Lieutenant of Shropshire to be a Deputy Lieutenant of the county on 22 February 1882.[3] /// Standort Wimregal PKis-Box1-U033 Sprache: Englisch Gewicht in Gramm: 10.

Add to basketText of both letters clear and complete, on aged, grubby paper. The 'Diehards' were a group of right-wing Conservative peers who attempted unsuccessfully to thwart Liberal legislation to limit the right of veto of the House of Lords over Commons legislation. (See G. D. Phillips, 'The Diehards: Aristocratic Society and Politics i…n Edwardian England', Cambridge, Mass., 1979.) TYPED LETTER: 17 December 1913. 4to, 1 p. He is going to try to write the history of the affair '[b]efore things fade altogether from my memory', and asks if OG has 'any papers, or letters, or diaries'. 'I propose to begin by recounting what took place at a very small house party here on the Saturday immediately after the election, and then to give my own account of the famous luncheon at Almeric Paget's.' Asks if OG can give an account of 'a house party at Hatfield of a particularly interesting character, of which you were one'. Also refers to 'our supper party at the Marlborough Club'. In a final sentence (in autograph) he states that the account is 'for Private circulation only, unless I am asked to Publish it'. AUTOGRAPH LETTER: 30 December [1913]. 4to, 2 pp. He has now 'resolved to write a chronicle of the whole thing, from December 1910 for publication, keeping back nothing [.] one or two intimate things, e.g. "l'affaire Hardwicke", may not perhaps appear. I remember all about that night, and the meetings at Chelsea and Holborn, as well as the Welbeck Party, and of course the Almeric Paget luncheon'. Asks OG to ballot in the Commons (where he was M.P. for Denbigh) for a bill he is going to introduce into the Lords next session: 'Holmes is going to, I believe'. Willoughby de Broke does not appear to have published an account of the affair before the appearance of his memoirs, 'The Passing Years', in 1924.
